There are few people in this industry more
enthusiastic about their job than artist and Senior Design Manager
at Stellantis, Dan Zimmermann. For many of us, our love of the
automotive hobby came from family, and for Dan it was no different.
Now of course, growing up in his grandfather’s body shop didn’t
hurt, but it was more the guidance of both his father and
grandfather that really left an impression.
From there it was art school and befriending those like-minded in
the way of design, until ultimately his craft was honed into the
excellence it is today. On this episode of the Hemmings Hot Rod BBQ
Podcast, host Mike Musto sits down with Dan to talk design
philosophy, where inspiration comes from, aesthetics, and more
importantly, what’s gained by sometimes drawing outside the lines
and not following convention.
